Isolation and Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci for Caridina cantonensis and Transferability Across Eight Confamilial Species (Atyidae, Decapoda).

ABSTRACT: Lai Him Chow, Ka Yan Ma, Jerome H. L. Hui, and Ka Hou Chu (2018) Caridina cantonensis is a common freshwater shrimp found in Guangdong Province, China. The species is landlocked, and this life history contributes substantially to its strong population differentiation at the very small geographical scale. Given its widespread distribution, it serves as an excellent model for examining population connectivity and phylogeographical history of freshwater invertebrates in South China. This study isolated ten microsatellite loci from genome sequences of C. cantonensis and four from the transcriptome assemblies of Neocaridina davidi. The microsatellites were then characterized in 24 C. cantonensis individuals from one population. The number of alleles ranged fro
